Lambda (letter)

In art and photography, a lambda-print is a positive image, usually a photograph, executed on photographic (light-sensitive) paper using a dedicated laser printer (e. g. Durst Lambda or Océ LightJet), - Durst AG Italy were the first company to develop this digital imaging technology in 1995 - as opposed to a C-type or an inkjet print. Thus the phrase lambda print has entered the vocabulary. The Lambda was named so due to it being the symbol of light Wavelength .
